Du hast recht. Aber vielleicht hat spahn hier recht und man muss einen Zwischenschritt gehen.
Sure it can. Battery state, temperature and all is controlled by software..
If you are comparing gas to heat pump efficiency, it is more like 85-90% vs 350-500% efficiency.
Because in the gas furnace efficiency they only calculate the efficiency of burning gas but miss to include the auxiliary electricity that is needed to run the system.
In a heat pump system everything (running fans etc.) is included in the efficiency calculation. The efficiency itself is depending on the source of the heat pump. In a really harsh climate a ground / geo thermal source might make sense. But usually the average temperature is higher than you might think.
And for the environmental effect: modern gas power plants run at 50-60% efficiency so with a heat pump you are always burning less gas even if the gas plant is less efficient then the gas furnace.
It would be interesting to know what extreme cold means.
Zwei Dinge fordere ich:
From what I understand, this affects everyone. All religious symbols are banned from school. I do not know what the rest of your murmuring has to do with the specific topic.
Clearly not racist. Same rules for everyone.
Hmm I think what you mean is that some coal plants have been put into active maintenance. IIRC this was rather a countermeasure in case of absence of gas supplies. They are not part of the regular energy market.
Anyway, I think there is not only one way forward. Countries like France choose to use a big portion of nuclear, Germany does not. And every way has its own challenges. What is important is that energy supply should be independent of oppressor states and moving into a direction of carbon neutrality.
I hope this is a serious question, obviously this depends on your baseline. In 2013 Germany had a 56% share of fossil fuels, 27% share of renewables and 17% share of nuclear power generation. In the current year, the shares are: 59% renewables, 39% fossil fuels and 2% nuclear power generation. So in the last ten years there has been a switch in generation from both nuclear and fossil fuels to renewable generation. Could it have been better in the wake of the looming crisis of both climate and energy? Yes, I think it would have been better to keep some newer nuclear power plants running. But Cpt. Hindsight always has it easier.
In the long run every successful economy will generate its major share of electricity from renewables. Some countries will choose to generate a part with nuclear, others will choose to use a mix of hydrogen, batteries etc. to complement renewables. We will see what works best.
Germany has not build any new coal plants. At least not in the last five years.
Edit: Why are people down voting a factual statement? Go ahead and provide better info if you got it.
While in hindsight not all the decisions of the German energy policies seem right and it would have been better to keep the nuclear power plants operating for a few years, there was never the plan to replace nuclear with coal. All of the nuclear power generation has been replaced by wind and solar power generation. In fact, the plan was to phase out nuclear and replace the remaining coal generation with natural gas power plants. This definitely got more difficult in the time of LNG. The plan in any case is to phase out coal as well and with 56% renewable generation in 2023 Germany is on track to do so.

Sunday evening we had some friends over in our small backyard garden. To celebrate the beautiful day, we opened some nice bottles of Blaufränkisch and had a barbecue.
Here are my notes:
BBB - BERLIN BLAUFRÄNKISCH BARBECUE - (16.07.2023)
2018 Die Winzerei Blaufränkisch Salvatore - Austria, Burgenland, Neusiedlersee-Hügelland
Very cloudy in the glass.
Interesting aromas, rustic, diffuse, but also some complexity. (87 points)
2014 Wachter-Wiesler Blaufränkisch Ried Weinberg - Austria, Burgenland, Südburgenland, Eisenberg
Fine/subtle wine, very different style from the rest of the wines, more focus on the red fruit and acidity.
Some green notes at the beginning as well, reminiscent of bell peppers.
By the end of the evening the wine was able to pick up, the green notes faded into the background and the wine developed a smoky note. (87 - 89)
Update, second day: the wine is more harmonious overall and the green notes are only slightly noticeable, but the finish is still short and plain simple. (87 points)
2018 Die Winzerei Blaufränkisch Goldberg - Austria, Burgenland, Neusiedlersee-Hügelland
Very dark in the glass.
In the nose, clearly of currant, tart red fruit.
Good acidity, much more focused and clear than the Salvatore from the same house.
But also does not have this wild / untamed character, for me the better wine. (89 points)
2018 Josef Leberl Blaufränkisch Reisbühel - Austria, Burgenland, Neusiedlersee-Hügelland
Ripe nose of blackberry, (too) much vanilla from the wood, seems a bit too soft and artificial.
Needs more structure or edges for me in this ripe style.
Not a bad wine, but not for me. Got better with time. (86 points)
2019 Kopfensteiner Blaufränkisch Reserve Saybritz Eisenberg - Austria, Burgenland, Südburgenland, Eisenberg
Decanted twice and then back in the fridge for two hours.
Serious and full-bodied wine, never broad, but precise.
Good acidity, currently still a bit too strongly marked by the wood.
Too young. Wait. (91)
Update, second day: wood much more restrained, more fruit and minerality evident and overall higher complexity. Now at (92 points)
2018 Schiefer & Domaines Kilger Blaufränkisch Königsberg - Austria, Burgenland, Südburgenland, Eisenberg
Decanted twice and then back into the fridge for two hours.
Dark in the glass, cherry on the nose, notes of Brett (horse blanket), ripe but stable tannin framework.
Good balance, charming without being generic.
As is the Jalits Szapary, this wine is drinking well at this stage, but still hints at significant potential.
Price / performance at the offer price of €15 is very good! (91-92) (91 points)
2016 Krutzler Blaufränkisch Reserve Eisenberg - Austria, Burgenland, Südburgenland, Eisenberg
Great nose with nice spice, quite little fruit, good acidity, wood if any in the background. Super balance.
Very enjoyable to drink now, seems open and harmonious. (92 points)
2018 Weinbau Jalits Blaufränkisch Reserve Szapary Eisenberg - Austria, Burgenland, Südburgenland, Eisenberg
Decanted twice and then back into the fridge for two hours.
Great nose with spices, measured power, wood well integrated, a bit riper than other BF at this tasting.
The wine is drinking well at this point, but still hints at significant potential.
Price / performance very, very good! (91 points)
I had this wine in February. Here are my thoughts from back then:
This wine was a bit of a roller coaster ride. The bottle was standing up for two weeks and I opened it 1 hour before dinner. At first the aromas were quite muted and it tasted a bit like old cellar. Sipping at our first glass my girlfriend said that she tasted something like wet cardboard. I am terrible at picking up cork taint, but after she stated it I was picking it up as well, even though I felt that was a really supple cork taint.
I was sad but did not want to give up, so I let the wine sit and thought why not try the big burgundy glasses. It was really amazing.. after half an hour and in the new glasses the wine was really transformed and now there was black cherry and bell pepper emerging from the glass. The taste was really lean and focused, with still some good structure and a very clear Cabernet Sauvignon taste profile. The last two glasses were clearly the best!
I do not have experience with Bordeaux this old, but I have another bottle of this wine and I am thinking that next time I will give this thing a short decant. What do you think?
We had a bottle of Tignanello at a restaurant yesterday and it was the first time I tried this wine. I was really excited because it is such a famous wine.
We gave it a short 40 minute decant before dinner.
Notes:
"A lot of fruit on the nose, very ripe. Plums, blackberries, cassis on the front and the notes of wood, leather take a backseat. Tannins give the wine a very good structure.
A bit primary for my taste. Nonetheless, an excellent wine, 92-93 with upside potential."
I must say, given the grape varieties, I was surprised by this ripe and almost jammy nature of this wine. I would drink it again anytime, but I am not sure about the price tag.
I mean the sender already did, right?
